So(me)one

I used to ache

For someone to catch me

For I fall often

With abandon

Call it reckless

I call it living

I used to ache

For someone to fall

Hopelessly,

Madly

Into my gravity

I wanted to get lost

In another

As much as they lost themselves

In me

Now I see

That I just wanted to forget me

And have someone love the parts

I didn't want to see

And that is utter nonsense.

These parts are my strength

That has been forged a thousand times

Through a thousand different deaths

My Love

That has burned a thousand more

And risen from the ashes

Within the next breath

I no longer ache

In a loneliness

Feeling like I would never get

Someone to understand

The Life

And Love

Within this wild heart

I no longer ache

For someone who could hold me

Love me

And run free with me

Unrestrained

Wandering the face of this Earth

This wild untamed that is relentless in its rhythm

Is a Home

All on its own

And it is

Mine

To

Hold.
